Hayward Aqua Solar, Aqua Solar TC, Aqua Solar AQ-SOL-LV, Aqua Solar AQ-SOL-LV-TC, Aqua Solar AQ-SOL-LV-SP Operation And Installation Manual
Temperature/Resistance /Voltage
All Hayward controls use a 10K thermistor sensors. When disconnected from the
control, the sensor will read 10K ohms at 25ºC/77ºF. Refer to the chart below for
the resistance at other temperatures. For a given temperature, the resistance
reading should be accurate to ±1%. For a given resistance reading, the temperature reading should be accurate to ±0.5ºF. All voltage measurements (DC) must
be made with the sensor connected to the control and should be accurate to ± 2%.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
When using this electrical equipment, basic safety precautions should always be
followed, including the following:
• READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS
• Disconnect all AC power during installation.
• Warning – To reduce the risk of injury do not permit children to use this
product unless they are closely supervised at all times.
• A green colored terminal marked “EARTH” is located inside the wiring
compartment. To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this terminal must be
connected to the grounding means provided in the electrical supply
service panel with a continuous copper wire equivalent in size to the
circuit conductors supplying the equipment.
• All field installed metal components such as rails, ladders, drains, or other
similar hardware within 3 meters of the pool, spa or hot tub shall be
bonded to the equipment grounding bus with copper conductors not
smaller than 8 AWG US/ 6 AWG Canada.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
5-Year Limited Solar Warranty
This Five Year Limited Warranty statement is only applicable to Solar controls and accessories
sold and installed within the USA and Canada* and supersedes any warranty statements dated
prior to November 1, 2010.
Hayward warrants its Hayward solar products to be free from defects in material or workmanship,
under normal use and service for 5 years from date of manufacture, providing it is installed
according to the installation instructions and specifications. The datecode stamped on the
outside of the product and also coded on the printed circuit board will be the sole determination
of manufacturing date.
To obtain warranty service or repair, please contact the place of purchase or the nearest Hayward
authorized warranty service center. For more information, please contact the Hayward
Technical Service Support Center or visit us on the web at www.haywardnet.com. Hayward will
not assume any of the cost incurred in removal or reinstallation of the product. One year outside
the USA and Canada.
The express warranty above constitutes the entire warranty of Hayward Pool Products with
respect to its solar products and IS IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESSED
OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING A WARRANTY OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
IN NO EVENT SHALL HAYWARD BE RESPONSIBLE OR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL OR
INCIDENTAL DAMAGES OF ANY NATURE WHATSOEVER.
No wholesaler, agent, dealer, contractor, or other person is authorized to give any warranty on
behalf of Hayward. This warranty is void if the product has been altered in any way after leaving
the factory.
Charges
Years 1-3:no charge
Years 4-5 60% of current list price plus $5.00 shipping and handling
Unless a copy of the original purchase invoice is enclosed, the manufacturing datecode on the
product will be used to determine the repair charges. Hayward reserves the right to charge a
nominal fee to cover inspection, test, and return freight for all controls where no faults or
problems are detected. All charges will be COD (COD charge will be included) unless you already
have an open account in good standing with Hayward. If the product returned can not be
repaired, Hayward will offer and equivalent credit towards the purchase of any new Hayward
product. Products that exhibit evidence of abuse, misuse, field damage (water/fire damage, line
voltage applied to low voltage terminals, missing parts, etc.) or installed for more than the
warranty period are not eligible for warranty repair replacement.

On continuously indicates a probable open circuit in the "POOL" sensor or wiring.
Flashing indicates a probable short circuit in the "POOL" sensor or wiring. In either
case digital pool temperature display will show as "PErr". The solar heating and
cooling functions will remain off until this problem is fixed, however, the recirculate
freeze protection (if enabled by the jumper) will still operate properly. Use the chart on
the back cover to check the "POOL" sensor with a voltmeter (you don't need to
disconnect the sensor). Alternatively, you can disconnect the sensor and measure
the sensor resistance. Replace the sensor or fix the wiring as required. If the sensor
and wiring are both good, then the main circuit PCB may have a problem.
7. "Solar Sensor" LED on or flashing
"Err" on the solar temperature display:
On continuously indicates a probable open circuit in the "SOLAR" sensor or wiring.
Flashing indicates a probable short circuit in the "SOLAR" sensor or wiring. In either
case digital pool temperature display for the "SOLAR" sensor will show as "CErr".
The solar heating and cooling functions will remain off until this problem is fixed,
however, the recirculate freeze protection (if enabled by the jumper) will still operate
properly.
Use the chart on the back cover to check the "SOLAR" sensor with a voltmeter (you
don't need to disconnect the sensor). Alternatively, you can disconnect the sensor and
measure the sensor resistance. Replace the sensor or fix the wiring as required. If the
sensor and wiring are both good, then the main circuit PCB may have a problem.
8. "Aux Sensor" LED flashing
"Err" on the Aux temperature display:
Flashing indicates a probable short circuit in the "AUX" sensor or wiring. The digital
pool temperature display for the "AUX" sensor will show as "AErr". This error
indication only occurs when the "AUX" sensor is being used for recirculate freeze
protection. When the Aux sensor is shorted, the Aqua Solar will use the "SOLAR"
sensor as a backup freeze sensor and turn the recirculate freeze protection on when
the temperature is less than 60ºF.
Use the chart on the back cover to check the "AUX" sensor with a voltmeter (you
don't need to disconnect the sensor). Alternatively, you can disconnect the sensor and
measure the sensor resistance. Replace the sensor or fix the wiring as required. If the
sensor and wiring are both good, then the main circuit PCB may have a problem.
